I use em and en dashes according to traditional grammar rules. Been that way for years. It just looks and reads nicer. AI won’t take that from me.

Years later I still haven’t decided who the biggest asshole is in this case, and somehow that is absolutely correct.

Apple: “Siri, search for a big dumb basket for me to put all my eggs into.”

Siri: “Now playing Basket Case by Green Day…”

This is a product that didn’t need to be built. Since it has, I’m at least pleased there are efforts to keep them from being relegated to landfills.

Good riddance. Now do Teams.

After Apollo stopped working I learned I liked nice UI and no ads more than I tolerated vanilla Reddit.

I want companies to make robots to vacuum for me. I don’t want them to make my own drudgery time more “convenient”.

Nobody: “Now my boss can text me any time of day even when I’m doing housework!”

So disappointing. I just transitioned my personal browsing from Arc to Zen Browser because it was the closest vertical tab experience I could find. Now I hope one of the other browsers will figure out and implement good drawer-based vertical tab UI.

Having some AIs that do this and some not will only muddy the waters of what’s believable. We’ll get gullible people seeing the ridiculous and thinking “Well there’s no watermark so it MUST be true.”

This became my work browser a few months back and I love how it just does its job and doesn’t get in my way.

TimesSquare/Alley was the place to be for gaming news. And webrings were more useful than search engines.

When Discord enshittifies to the point it shows ads in chat, Instagram will be ready to swoop in and capture the market with the same shitty ads.

It’s not an unreasonable request. If the shoe was on the other foot I’d want to be screening every American coming to our border to check if they were active on topics like annexation or shudder cyber truck enthusiasm.

That’s cute. He thinks people will still be using WordPress when he retires as he continues to alienate customers and developers week after week.

Well shoot if Firefox goes I guess we’re back to carrier pigeons and smoke signals.

Explicit? Hardly. Just two good pals suckin’ toe.

Part of the reason why I’ve recommended US based services to my Canadian clients was because of its speed due to proximity. Now that net neutrality has been gutted and ISPs are free to artificially slow down their services a la carte, the speed advantage is questionable. Now I recommend services in Canada where I find them and European alternatives when no closer ones are available.

The Day the World Stops Shoppong examined this and found that it doesn’t take a whole lot of concerted action to tank the consumption economy.

Buy nothing days are good but less good if you return to regular habits and redouble your consumption after the boycott is over.

I eat meat, too.

In the same way as people can be okay or not with eating meat, I think it comes down to individual values.

LLMs have consequences to climate, labour, and (if you don’t disclose in some situations) how others perceive your creativity.

For me, I would have no problem asking and AI agent to speak to a colleagues AI agent to automatically find a mutually acceptable time for a call or meeting.

I would not use AI to compose a best man’s toast or funeral eulogy from scratch.

The quote about “I want AI to do my dishes and laundry so I have time for more creativity, I don’t want AI to do my creativity so I have more time to do dishes and laundry” applies to me.
